Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
HMBDA is not a skin sensitiser
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

HMBDA gave a negative response in a reliable Buehler study. A negative result was also reported in an additional, unreliable Buehler study.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
HMBDA is not a skin sensitiser.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Two skin sensitisation studies are available. The selected study has the higher Klimisch score.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

HMBDA gave a negative response in a Buehler study and is therefore not classified.
